We use Servlets to develop the web based applications. To run a web based application we need a server and a client. In a web based application Client sends the Request to the server, the server receives that request, processes it and send the Response to the client. So, in a web based application both server and client are equally important. The following figure shows you the client and server architecture.

- TCP/IP
- SMTP
- UDP
- FTP
- HTTP etc...,
Disadvantages of Standalone Application:
Standalone application is the one that can run offline. The following are the disadvantages of the Standalone applications:
- As the Standalone application runs on the client computer, we need to install it in all the computers.
- We will have a lot of maintenance related problems, i.e., whenever we want to change the project we need to change it in every client computer.
- A standalone application consumes the resources of the client computer.
- Only some persons know how to install these application and configure them.
